The reason is that even if metadata of the "updates" repository have been 
refreshed, there is probably another repository with matadata from Fri Apr 3 
03:24:08 2015 (it has probably longer expiration period). So, yes, I agree that 
this is confusing. 

Do you have a better idea than printing the timestamp for each repository?
